Title: Removing H-4 Dependent Spouses From the Classes of Noncitizens Eligible for Employment Authorization 
Abstract:

On February 25, 2015, DHS published a final rule that amended DHS regulations to extend eligibility for employment authorization to certain H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B nonimmigrant workers who are seeking employment-based lawful permanent resident (LPR) status. DHS previously indicated that it would propose to rescind or change that final rule. DHS no longer intends to issue such a proposed rule.
